And just think...i'm running a (very slightly larger than) 50mm on a V6.
;)

Listen...if it works...stop griping about it. Not all engines will act the
same with the identical mod...of course we all knew that already. Right?
(Some limitations still exist with the OEM computer though.)

You know, I've been reading this a lot, but I just don't buy it.
Maybe with headers that's true, but I'm not running headers and
neither are a lot of other people. I *am* running a 51.75mm Fastman
TB, and the tires spin like crazy if I'm not gentle on the pedal.
That's why I have a set of Caltracs traction bars on order, maybe they
will help. Then of course there's that cool neck snap when they do
hook up. I'm just not seeing this "loss of low end" that people keep
talking about.
